I would put the guitar down for a week or so or long enough for you to start to get an appetite back for what you like about playing. When duty or a striving for perfection takes over it steals all the fun. I get frustrated with practice easily but I love it when I can make a bit of music. I'm starting to learn some songs by Radiohead - these aren't too difficult and I love the sound so alongside the horrible practice I can indulge in enjoying playing something that sounds like music and doesn't have to be perfect in any way. I think practicing with a friend would be good too, I don't yet have a friend with the interest but you might!
